Anything that'll boost your power

For Group Shop obviously Medium Refinement Runes, Rank Shop, Basic Refinement Runes (only if you need a lot of them) Otherwise Hinata as she is one of the best tanks for a F2P. Summon Shop, Runes or a Gold Summon you absolutely need for your end game team, if neither go for King of Hell frags. Space Time Shop, obviously Adv. Threads for when you do need them. Otherwise Tactics Pack.

i have gaara 4 stars with daily recharge. is he better than hinata? or i should keep on upgrading her?

yeah i read alot saying power is the most important thing to spend on or get rewards on.

Gaara is a tanky damage dealer which is amazing with wind teams, Hinata is a very good tank early game as she can deflect all damage done to her on the 1st round (more or less). Even after you get hinata to 5 star (which you 100% should) you should keep buying her fragments as they can be used in the refine fragment system that comes into play later on into the game. Do this for kabuto too

Hope this helped, anymore questions just ask

well im a water main, should i still use him instead of hinata? gaara is 4stars and hinata 3 stars.

in the ranking shop i could either buy hinata frags, gnw sakura or low level refine runes ( my server is just 6 days old and haven't used refines yet waiting for a refine event)

i am usking gnw sakura in my formation so should i spend the ranked points 1k for 5 frags on gnw sakura or 500 on hinata if she is better than gaara? since his mystery does insane dmg and he is tanky.

in group shop there is summon contract or medium refine. right now im buying medium refine to have them ready later.

arena shop im buying gnw sakura and unbound runes now have 390 ( should i stop buying unbound runes? dont know what they are used for except for the summon )

survival trial kabuto is the only good one for me. will have him 3 stars tomorrow.

the other shops aren't open yet summon/space time.

Unbound runes, collecting them is fine, gnw isnt that important in higher stars so unless you're close to getting her 5 stars (and i mean really close) i suggest you swap to unbound runes. Kabuto yes, keep getting him up, i still use him now at level 80, Summon/Space time when they do open just save everything, no need to spend. And is gaara better than hinata? Well if you're finding that you gaara dies turn one, then hinata would be better yes. Hinata also provides acupuncture which can stop your enemy from casting a mystery skill (unless it is removed by a healer or something) which is very good.

I mean right now you can get away with

Water main, Hinata, Sasuke and Kabuto or something like that! feel free to ask forums for advice by posting your list of ninja

well gnw sakura is 2 star 28/50 frags. im still lv45 so i think how her skills are that she is better than kabuto or am i wrong?

in ranked i could either buy frags of hinata or low level refine runes.

what main are you using?

If you're really patient, you can aim for 5 Star Iruka through fragment refining, by collecting all the 2 Star Ninja frags (They're worth the most in fragment refine) in each shop until all those characters are 5 stars and then keep collecting them to turn them into points for Iruka Fragments & Scrolls.

All as a free player, it adds up pretty nicely but takes a long time, having 5 star basic characters has been pretty nice.

But when starting out I recommend focusing on refines and getting your team to level 4/5 refine asap. And then jumping to 7 from there, all during rebates.

Here is the difference between Gaara and Hinata

Gaara has super armor in which he won't let enemy ninjas cause combos on him. However he doesn't mitigate damage, he does however when you get his barrier up, he can do massive damage. It'll also be awhile before you 5 star him. Ultimately Hinata will be a better choice as she is great early to semi late game. While Gaara falls off the map for a bit til you have a team built around him.

Also to get an idea of how good GNW Sakura is

Sailor Sakura > Breakthrough Normal Sakura > GNW Sakura > Non Breakthrough Normal Sakura

Kabuto is the 3rd best healer in the game (I would have to compare Tsunade Sannin War though which I can't do atm).

so your saying sakura with break through skill becomes better? ok good to know.

hmmm so that means i should stop getting frags of gnw sakura in arena shop?

and in ranked shop i should go for hinata frags or low level refine runes? im still new so the more i have the more i can upgrade them when refine rebate comes again.

for hinata later i will change her for kimimaro though and if i have kabuto aswell he will buff him all the time.

so that means i should stop getting frags of gnw sakura and keep on getting kabuto's important.

water main

this server is just 7 days old and all the people are using the refines and battle armor so from ranked 2 i fallen to rank 8 lol

i have been saving them for the refines and on monday will do the battle armor rebate ( should i spend coupons on this day or ignots? or save coupons for lucky board?)

in ranked i can get 5 low level refine for 1k points should i stack the most i can for the refine event? i have only 44 right now.

Yes and no. low level refine is a fickle item, I'd say yes as you can never grow too fast or have too many, but equally I say no as even with the event going from rank 3 to 4 with runes is usually a black hole for them. If there's another item you could use to immediately improve your team that is as important go for it, else stack em up.

If your water or Ltn main Hinata is a far better tank than Gaara, speaking from my own experience. Gaara is a killer attacker if you can set it up but his mystery can be countered by any experienced player, Hinata isn't impenetrable but she's a good stall (between lower mystery burn and atk block) due to her being more wall and chain than atk you don't really need to think too much about her and are free to concentrate on your attackers. As far as the Kabuto discussion I rarely used him as Karin and later GNW Sakura are all around better healers.

you mean in shop i should get choji,kankuro,lee,hinata,kabuto, (sai?).suigetsu? little by little ofcourse so i get there stars 5 and get refine for iruka? does are the ninjas you are mentioning. and just curious how much points will you get for like 5 hinata frags in refine?

I don't think you should invest in all of them. Pick one or two (like Hinata or Kabuto who are generally solid characters) and focus on them.

Personally I feel like investing in some characters, like Choji and Kankuro, aren't a good use of your points.

I would say focus on kabuto first since no one barely uses survival coins after they get the ninjas listed under that section. If you want to speed up the process of getting 5* ninjas, then do kabuto and hinata. Overtime, you'll eventually build up a stockpile of survival coins you don't use and then you should spend on frags like lee and suigetsu and get them to 5* since they only cost 500. Even though choji, kankuro, kurenai, zabuza, karin, anko, and shikamaru cost 500 in their shops, you might decide to spend the coins on something else like summon contract, refinements runes, unbound runes, pains from ranked shop, and gnw sakura.

i got hinata to 5 stars now and kabuto is 4 stars but half way to 5 stars too.

now i should continue spending ranked/survival points on kabuto/hinata? or go for ninjas that will give me 10 points for refining their frags?

Up to you. You can either piece other ninjas just to get them for collection purposes (and coupon recruitment bonus/ ranking) or keep on getting frags over 5* to get more iruka/scrolls faster. After a certain time, you will end up getting all those ninjas to 5* (eventually, some might take a lot of time) but there's no bad option there. Check if there's any pain/akatsuki member you would like to use in the future (check if they have future skillbooks that could fit your future team), if not you can just as well focus on getting more fragments for refining.

im asking this because if i have only hinata/kabuto 5 stars i wont get lots of points from refining with just 2 ninjas.

i am upgrading haku/tenten/suigetsu for nine tails and all 3 are 4 stars. so in the future i will have those ninjas too but suigetsu doesn't give 10 points with refine.

how did some people get lots of 5 star ninjas? sweep elite? buy their frags from shop and dont spend on hinata/kabuto?

from survival you can get free frags too but my question is i should focus on just hinata/kabuto even after they are 5 stars? and how did those people get lots of 5 star ninjas?
